WHAT YOU WANT TO KNOW

What Is a Caudal Steroid Injection?

A Caudal Steroid Injection delivers a powerful combination of anti-inflammatory steroid medication and local anesthetic into the caudal epidural space at the base of your spine. This space surrounds the inflamed nerve roots responsible for radiating back and leg pain.

Herniated or bulging discs
Sciatica
Spinal stenosis
Degenerative disc disease
Bone spurs
Chronic lower back pain
Nerve inflammation in the lumbar spine

Minimally invasive
Performed on an outpatient basis
May provide long-lasting pain relief
Helps reduce need for surgery or opioid medications
Can improve mobility and daily comfort

Preparation

You'll lie face down while your provider cleans and numbs the injection area with a local anesthetic.

Guided Placement

Using a fluoroscope (a real-time X-ray), a thin needle is gently guided through the sacral hiatus into the epidural space.

Medication Injection

Once proper placement is confirmed with a contrast dye, the physician administers the steroid-anesthetic solution to reduce nerve inflammation.

Completion

The needle is removed, and the area is bandaged. The entire procedure usually takes less than 30 minutes.

Following the procedure, you’ll be monitored briefly before being discharged home with detailed aftercare instructions. Most patients can resume light activity the same day.

Common post-treatment care includes:

Keep the injection site clean and dry; change bandages as directed
Drink plenty of water to flush out contrast dye
Use ice packs to minimize soreness
Rest and avoid strenuous activities for 24–48 hours
Take over-the-counter pain relievers if needed (unless advised otherwise)

If you experience fever, swelling, worsening pain, or redness at the injection site, please contact our office immediately.
